Hi
Would it be possible in future versions for braces to be outlined, like:
{
}
if i select/go to the closing brace the opening brace row would be
outlined indicating its the opening one to me. Would also work for ()
and markup.
Thanks

After the small features request, here is a big one ;)
I'm sure we talked about it here, but I don't remember if this is
planned or not.
Actually, I use TextMate for everything text-related except one thing:
comparing two document(Diff).
Unfortunately I need this feature a lot. For me, this is "The Last Big
Thing" that TM misses.
The best solution I found so far is to have a command launching
TextWrangler to compare the active one and one I have to choose(w/Cocoa
Dialog).
1) The way to launch this is a bit clumsy. (Having to navigate thru an
"open" dialog)
2) Having TextWrangler opened just for that sucks a bit.
3) Having to edit the files in TW really sucks. I miss all the TM
goodness and It makes me feels I'm back in time. ;)
(And worst of all, I use TM shortcuts all the time and wonder why my
commands, snippets, etc. don't work 8-| )
4) This doesn't work with remote files, or I have to open them in TW.
Meaning changing the prefs of my SFTP client.
What I like in the "Compare two front documents" feature of TW:
-The full screen is shared by the two docs with the Differences window
under.
-You can navigate easily thru the diffs.
-Closing the Differences window brings the docs back where they were.
-It exists. ;)
You can even check differences of folders and batch files.
So, my question is:
Do you plan to implement this in TM, Allan?
If the answer is yes, any idea when we might expect this?
Meanwhile, does anybody have a better solution?

I've found myself using TM for almost every single thing that I write,
so sometimes I like to be able to create a new TM document in the
current Finder window.
Had a look at trying to create a Contextual Menu plug-in, but it looked
too complicated, so does anyone have a suggestion for how to do this ??
Kind regards,
Mats

Hi Mats,
I have already got skEdit and really like its implementation of the file
chooser thing I was proposing, its pretty much what I was trying to
emulate
in TM ;). However I have to agree that although it is a very good
editor it
can't match TM's flexibility, and I thought Texmate could offer the
best of
both.
I have put together a command that outputs filenames matching the first
few
letters but need a way of selecting options when there are multiple
results.
We'll have to wait for commands to output to a contextual menu to fully
realise some of the potential of these ideas, but when it is supported I
think there will be a lot of great tools available to us.

I know that could be achieved as a macro but I'd like to see a key to
exchange the character under the cursor and the next one, à la ^T under
emacs.
Thanks,

Maybe it would be a bit harder than I thought to make it backwards
compatible. Keep thinking about it though.
The reason I asked for it in the first place is that I was making a script
to insert filenames into textmate, a bit like pressing tab in terminal.
Sometimes I would get more than one result, and I wanted those to appear in
a list. Now I've been thinking about it though, it might be a nice thing to
have this behaviour built into Textmate.
An example would be that if you typed in an html document: "href='i" and
then pressed tab, you could invoke a menu which showed files matching 'i.*'.
It could even be multi-dimensional as in my included mock-up.

I hadn't really thought of the possibilities for the contextual menu, I
really thought of it for choosing a list of snippets to insert after a
selection. If it could run commands as well, that would be very cool.
XML sounds like a good way of generating the list, I don't use it that much,
but couldn't each 'menu item' have 'input', 'output' and 'action' children
to define what it should do?
Would it be possible for you to make a menu that just had a list of snippets
at the moment, which could be further expanded in the future? I look forward
to any progress in this regard.
Keep up the great work,
Max
Would it be possible to make a command output option that displays as a
menu. It would be like the current behaviour of commands, snippets etc that
have the same key command.
You could then have commands like 'ls $TM_FILEPATH', and choose from the
list.
